Description: Las Vegas’ number-one hard-boiled feline PI, Midnight Louie, is back in another crazy crime- and cat-filled romp. Louie sneaks a ride in the Fontana brothers limo to oldest brother Aldo’s bachelor party, hoping to keep an eye on Matt, new beau of Louie’s human partner, Temple. When Louie and the men find themselves not only at a Nevada chicken ranch (legalized brothel) but kidnapped by their jealous and vengeful girlfriends, with a dead body upstairs, it is up to Louie to keep Matt out of trouble and find the murderer. Louie only has 24 hours before the new clients arrive, but this time he has help, a lot of help and all female, including his long-lost love, Satin, likely mother of his purported daughter, Midnight Louise. With a fast-moving plot and lively narration passed back and forth between Temple, Matt, Louie, and Temple’s mysteriously missing ex, Max, the story hurtles its way forward. Sure to be a big hit with Midnight Louie’s large and dedicated audience. --Jessica
